The Haggis Box in Edinburgh, City of

Delicious Haggis at a reasonable price.

Good taste and good on pocket! However, the scotch egg wasn’t freshly made! The expectations were high before entering and realising that eggs are cold made me feel disappointed’

Very good place, dog friendly, friendly waiters, haggis (traditional, vegetarian and vegan). Absolutely recommended!

The haggis was awesome! We also loved the sauce 😋

Pleasant staff, quick service and good food. Looking forward to the next visit.

Bestest haggis I've eve tried in Scotland. A lot better than a cheap excuse in a Scottish Westherspoons. Whiskey sauce is extremely important in the meal and it would ne to the same without it! Highly recommended!!!

Haggis is one of the Scottish dishes we wanted to try. We chose this place on our second day walking around Edinburgh. The environment is not luxurious, modest, but I absolutely loved the Haggis, it was served warm, especially with the whiskey and mustard sauce, we recommend it👌

Really enjoyed the haggis and coffee here.

Went in because I saw a YT short about this place; came out with overflowing love for haggis and humanity. When I went in the tables are all occupied, so I was like, I’m gonna sit at the bench. But the owner (I’m sorry if you’re not an owner but you definitely own my heart after this interaction) PULLED OUT A CHAIR for a table in a corner for me to sit ALONE, asking me about my day, if I came here in time to catch the live music. This act of kindness made me believe in humanity again. There’s hope for us y’all!!! Anyway, the food— haggis & neeps and tatties was criminally smooth, rich, and the sauce will further make it easy to eat for all the first time haggis tryers. This is not my first time eating haggis, but I enjoyed it all the same. 100/10 stop reading and go try it out already

Great food, nice vibe, will come back, highly recommend

Haggis was delicious and the whisky sauce was on point. Some solid craft beers as well. Service was fast and efficient. Relaxed atmosphere. My only gripe was that the portions were way too small for an adult male. It would be perfect as a starter or for a kid. I cannot give more stars since I left almost as hungry as I arrived

Small cafe inside the Scottish Storytelling Centre on the Royal Mile. I had cake and the Haggis. The Haggis itself was extremely dry, crumbly, bland and lacking in flavour - almost comparable to cardboard or polystyrene, and fell apart when the waitress placed it on the table. I've never had Haggis crumble before my very eyes before. I was quite surprised given the positive reviews. I definitely recommend the Auchentoshan whisky & mustard sauce, as it is rich in flavour and is what gave the Haggis any sort of moisture or flavour. The Neeps and Tatties themselves were hot and quite nice in flavour and texture. I also had some "Fly Cemetery" cake, which was quite delicious. Service was good. The gentleman at the stand was helpful in helping me decide a cake, and also, thankfully, recommended me the Auchentoshan whisky & mustard sauce. It is a nice, quiet and peaceful atmosphere. As it is inside the Storytelling Centre, you can read about some traditional Scottish tales. The venue also hosts occasional community events. Whilst I wouldn't recommend the Haggis, I would recommend going there and relaxing with a slice of cake.

This place is amazing! The haggis is so delicious. A whiskey sauce that isn't only about the whiskey. Such friendly and knowledgeable staff. Nearly everything has a gluten free, veg, or vegan option. Absolutely a must.

Good place to try haggis dish. Quality is good and pricing is reasonable taking into account that it is located in the center of Edinburgh. Service is very kind and there are different types of haggis and sauces to try, even a vegan option.

Thanks to Blythe and Adam I had a wonderful experience ! They are incredibly nice and friendly, making me feel so welcome from the moment I arrived. Blythe gave me great recommendations, and I even tried my first Haggis and it was absolutely delicious! The dish was served super fast, and the flavors were amazing. Thank you both for such a fantastic experience.

I had the veggie haggis with the mustard and whiskey sauce. It was delicious and I‘m so happy that there‘s a vegetarian option because I was really curious. Although the place is very informal, the staff was very polite. Would definitely recommend.

Our first encounter with haggis, which was delicious. Even though I hardly eat meat, I made an exception and I definitely did not regret it. As a second course we had scotch eggs with salad which was rather average.

Unreal haggis and service! A must visit

Fantastic little place. Delicious haggis with veggie and vegan options, great coffee and a lovely atmosphere on the Royal Mile. We’ll be coming back!

First time trying haggis and I wasn't disappointed! Really tasty with the whiskey sauce! The staff were lovely too! Would recommend trying!

Really lovely food and staff. Surprisingly tasty as I’ve never tried haggis before!

We tried two dishes of Haggis, one with whiskey sauce and the other with red wine gravy. We liked both, but we would like to point out that the first one seemed sweeter and the whiskey flavor was almost imperceptible, with the mustard flavor predominating. It is worth noting that at the end of this gastronomic experience our faces had an unusual color and temperature at this time of year due to the fabulous choice of whiskey cider 😁

visiting Edinburgh for few days, wanted to try Haggis, first time trying, they were delicious! enjoyed it a lot, highly recommended Haggis, Neeps & Tatties :)

very delicous haggis and souce. small portions

I was reluctant to try Haggis when I first visited Scotland, then ended up regretting not having the experience and promised myself to try it next time. After finally trying it, I can say that I am even more angry about not trying earlier. The whole experience really threw my prejudice out of the window. Adam does the haggis and sauces himself and is a lovely person, eager to share his culture through food. Couldn't recommend it more!

Best Haggis in the center and super good price. Try the mustard and wishkey sauce!!

Amazing haggis and amazing quiche, wasn't a fan of either of them before coming here but this place genuinely made me change my mind!! Service was also great and welcoming. Would definitely recommend and return one day.

Very good site. The prices have gone up but it is one of the most affordable places to eat Haggis.

Don’t waste your time. Go to a real pub like Canon’s Gait and Mackay on the Mile and the haggis will be 10x

The worst haggis I’ve had. All of the other reviewers literally had their first haggis here. Haggis is awesome, don’t fall into this tourist trap

Really tasty vegan haggis. Quick service and friendly atmosphere.

Best haggis ever. Can be served with gravy. Highly recommended.

My second visit to this place, again did not disappoint! Amazing service, amazing food. Would recommend going for the recommended option - Haggis with mustard and whisky sauce. And for something lighter, definitely the Quiche.

Lovely staff coffee excellent. Just popped in for coffee, but will go back again for a bite next time.

Probably the best haggis in Edinburgh. Great little place inside the museum. Definable worth a visit

This place came recommended from a local for good haggis and the environment was lovely. I'd never tried haggis but wanted to. It was delicious and not very expensive with a decent sized portion. I usually hate swede (neeps) but I actually enjoyed that as well! I'd also highly recommend the coffee here.

Discovery of Haggis in this place we loved it! Just like Scotch Eggs! In addition, the people who took care of us were friendly, which was rather rare so I would like to point it out :)!

Haggis Neeps and Tatties to die for

First time having haggis, so I can't compare the Hagis Box's offering to anything else, but I can say, it was delicious. Nice employees and cute space. It does close early, though.

Safe place for LGBTQ+ people looking for a haven of peace in Edinburgh. The vegetarian haggis is a little salty, the whiskey sauce is excellent (without it it would be a little dry) and the portion is correct. We paid around 13 pounds. Eating there is an opportunity to discover Scottish history and folklore, don't hesitate to chat with the waiters, who are adorable. Too bad the place closes so early!

My first Haggis ever, and I loved it. I had the classic one with whiskey and mustard sauce. It was absolutely delicious. For drinks we had Tempest hell, as recommended by the server.

Tried haggis for the first time and it was mind blowing. The restaurant is located in prime location and the staffs were very polite and friendly. Coming to the taste of food haggies tatties and neeps blew my mind. I tried with classic whiskey and mustard sauce. I highly recommend this place if you want to try the dish for the first time.

The haggis was delicious, but the menu is very little varied. Place with a certain charm.

Laura is an amazing person! She got our order and served under 5 min. It was my first time to try haggis. I love it. Service was great.

Superb place! Delicious haggis in affordable price - whisky sauce is on another level. The staff here is really friendly. I can recommend The Haggis Box to everyone who wants to try Haggis for the first time - notice that they also have vegetarian and vegan version of the haggis😄

Haggis is a must try when you're in Scotland and I definitely recommend trying it at this place. Not your usual restaurant / cafe / pub setting but rather a 'box office'-turned-kitchen inside the Scottish Storytelling Centre. Cheerful and friendly staff. We ordered their Haggis Neeps & Tatties with Whiskey & Mustard sauce at a reasonable price which comes in a decent portion size. The dish was brilliant! Each element had its own flavour not being overpowered by others. We enjoyed it a lot. Highly recommend this place.

Delicious vegetarian haggis with neeps and tatties, covered with a whisky and mustard sauce. So good I had to go back twice!

Perfect for some cheeky scran xx Ordered the veggie haggis and the whisky sauce was absolutely delightful

I had no idea about haggis due to my 1 day trip to Scotland, I was baffled by the options they gave but they broke it down for me.

Very rich! Excellent atmosphere! I recommend!

A great Haggis. The place is very quiet despite being in a central area.

The staff were really friendly and the food was very nice, easy to get along with, and smiling which is contagious. Another bonus is they have haggis plushies!

Great spot for a good meal and amazing hospitality.

I was so scared to try haggis because the description sounded off-putting. I finally mustered up the courage and made a stop at The Haggis Box after reading other Google reviews. I ordered the Haggis over Neeps and Tatties with the Auchentoshan whisky & mustard sauce. Oh my stars, it was SPECTACULAR and made me a haggis convert. Please do give it a try! The Haggis Box makes it a delicious experience! Also, I want to comment that the staff are all so lovely and kind! The restaurant itself is very bright and clean!

Very tasty haggis - both the traditional and the veggi version! Nice staff & cozy atmosphere (:

Very tasty haggis. The staff is friendly and very helpful. Recommended!

Nothing is as satisfying as food that stays in your memory longer than the memories of the trip. For me it's a revelation, I think it will be a reason to come back. I recommend.

Great place to try haggis and great place to go back to for a quick meal. I was a haggis virgin and the haggis box was recommended. I ordered it as recommended with the whiskey mustard sauce and could have licked the plate it was so good. The hubby ordered a BLT roll and his was also incredible. The place is setup more like cafeteria than restaurant but I would come here again and again for the food and friendly service!!!

Had their haggis in their catering van at the Royal Highland Show. Then i had to visit their permanent cafe on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh. It's in an interesting building too! Great haggis served in the traditional way. Haggis is a must try if you are a visitor, this is the best place for it! See our full video review on our experience under The Olive Tree Family on all social media platforms.

Gluten Free GF haggis, nice casual vibe, good price

A perfect place to discover this famous specialty, their traditional haggis, served with a whiskey and mustard sauce, is simply incredible. The flavors are perfectly balanced and every bite is a delight

Fantastic fare, especially the Haggis, and friendly employees.

Very interesting place! I appreciate that you have a vegan haggis so I could try Scottish traditional food. Also very lovely staff

Amazing Haggis, Excellent Scotch eggs! Great service!

Awesome place to have a solid Haggis. Had haggis the night before as a starter but the portion was teeny. Went here for a proper serving and wasn’t disappointed. Lovely quiet setting with solid wood furniture inside what feels like a community hall -a very unique vibe. I sat at the window and watched all the tourists scurry around while I gorged myself on the offal and oats that make up a classic haggis. I highly recommend you do the same.

Really nice place! Tried my first haggis and it was really tasty! Must try with the whiskey and mustard

Had some visitors from outside Edinburgh and they wanted to try haggis, good atmosphere friendly staff. We ordered some black americano and some latte too.

Fantastic Haggis. Traditional with Whiskey Mustard sauce is a winner. 🙏

Great, authentic food, but available also as vegan version - very grateful for that.

Great atmosphere and the haggis was amazing just wish they had more tables

So good! Can’t recommend enough, haggis was delicious and the staff were really friendly!

Traditional Scottish Haggis, with whisky sauce. Great value

Tasty haggis with wisky and mustard sauce I like it

We ordered the soup of the day with oatcakes and regular and veggie haggis. We also tried both sauces and gluten free beers. And it all was absolutely delicious. The place is nice and quiet, the staff is lovely and we would definitely go back again.

The Haggis Box is inside the Scottish Storytelling Centre, and we ate there while waiting for a show during the Fringe. Haggis, neeps and tatties are on the menu, but we settled for a bacon roll. It was probably one of the best bacon rolls I've had, two nice rashers perfectly cooked in a nice soft roll. Tomato sauce and brown sauce is available as well. Yum! Hot drinks and alcoholic drinks are available to complement your meal as well. A good place to have a sit down and refuel on the Royal Mile.

Lovely handmade furniture with polite and quick service that proved willing to answer questions and office advice. And tasty haggis!

You have to go there, firstly for the kindness of the staff

Had traditional haggis neeps and tatties with the mustard sauce and I was very impressed with the flavor! Front counter clerk was very helpful in making the decision.

Beautiful location. Certainly a good Haggis. Best in town? No, but still excellent.

A different experience, minimalist local but as always very attentive and friendly. Great food and also the price. We ate at the premises but you can also take it away.

Very good Haggis and the place is beautiful 🤩 Great location too.

The plate is mini. Literally for the same price I ate plates (also haggis neeps & tatties) up to three times bigger in all the pubs/restaurants around. In terms of taste, it is even worse than others. I ordered it with the whiskey and mustard sauce and it is delicious, but it is inferior to all the nearby bars. The atmosphere is not comfortable to be in (it is to eat and leave immediately). At least they give you food quickly

Absolutely perfect. Lovely and helpful staff. Very good haggis, both real and vegetarian! Thank you again for your kindness!

Got the traditional haggis with the whiskey and mustard sauce. First time eating haggis, very rich, hearty and interesting flavors. Staff is efficient and super friendly.

It was the first time I tasted Haggis and I guess it was quite high class. However, the food was generally too poorly salted, so I had to add salt myself. But it rarely turns out completely well if you add salt to the food afterwards. However, the taste was much better after I added salt. If it hadn't been for the low saltiness in the dish, I would probably have given a higher rating because I think it was a very good Haggis. I ordered with Whiskey and mustard sauce and it was really good! The venue was probably a bit dreary, but there was still plenty of room. And the staff was nice.

Great vegan haggis including really good mashed potatoes. The staff was super welcoming and friendly, and prices were descent. My partner had the "real" haggis and was delighted as well. Highly recommended for everyone who wants to try a Scottish delicacy while in Edinburgh.

Amazing place. My first time trying haggis and i really loved it. We visited during the fringe festival and cought some old Scottish poetry reading too.

Very good Haggis, friendly staff

Excellent cafe. Vegetarian haggis was very nice. The service is excellent.

First time to have Haggis and it was delicious. Got it with the mustard sauce and found it very good.

Bought haggis takeaway. Got vegetarian haggis ☹️

Coffee, cake and haggis. All were perfect! With friendly staff and a delicious lunch, a must stop for anyone visiting edinburgh.

I wanted to try it when I was in Scotland: very tasty

The vegan haggis was excellent! Same with the desserts. So happy!!! Thank you to the lovely gent for the recommendations

The haggis was delicious! The staff was friendly.. apart from the haggis, had a couple of pints of beer too. Great gluten free option in Edinburgh!

Delicious Haggi! The quiche is also really really good! Tip: Ask the sauce beside, in my opinion haggi is better without the sauce

WOW. I was so excited yo try gluten free haggis, and my boyfriend liked it so much he got a second entrée. Will absolutely be back, so impressed.

Design place to taste a good Haggis. It's their specialty. Low price. Ask for the sauce separately to measure it as desired. Friendly welcome.

I visited to enjoy Scotland's famous haggis. When I ate haggis for the first time, both the taste and texture were wonderful. It went perfectly with the Scottish pale ale recommended by the staff. The staff was polite and helpful, and the staff who were studying Japanese spoke to me in a friendly manner, making the meal enjoyable.

Try the special local food and this beer is full of flavor and smooth to drink.
